OUR COAL FIELDS.
Why They May Bo formed Immense
Collars Of Bottled Sunshine.

Why They May Bo formed Immense
Collars Of Bottled Sunshine.
A remarkable peculiarly of the life
of these modern days is tho discovery
of immense cellars of bott led sunshine.
For, speaking unconventionally. how
can we better describe our coal fields?
From these we obtain heat, light and
force, by fires. gas and steam engines,
to wonderful extent At present we
use this in very wasteful fashion.
And rs rule we do not get five per
cent of the energy stored in the coal
we use. At q recent trial of stsam-en-
gines one was able to use twelve pcr
cent. of the energy stored in the coal it
burned, and that was thought re-
markable result The great problem
evermore is. at which shop can we get
our sunshine most cheaply? Direct
solar power can only be had very occa-
sionally. and the cost of bottling is high.
Water power can only be had at certain
places and hence often leads to expenses
which prevent it being economical.
Similar is it with wind power. Horse
power is dear, the growth of the food
of the animal. his stable. and attend
ants run into money. At present coal
power is the cheapest Electric ma
chinery is not source, it is only q
medium, not bottle. but glass. from
which energy is consumed. 1t needs
power to produce an electric current
Its value in the conveyance of energy is
very great So that in time it may
prove a cheap way of getting sunshine
to work. 1t is n OF always least costly
to buy at the cheapest market. the con-
veyance of goods home may cost more
than the extra price of purchasing
nearer home. For . particular work
at particular place it is an open ques-
ton whether sunshine can be cheapest
gained from the winds, from q swift
stream, from coal mines, or from the
sun direct So also whether it can be
best applied direct or through the
agency of steam or of electricity. Mr..
John Stuart Mill. an acute though not
over-wise thinker, signalized brief
political career by starting scare about
the exhaustion of our coal mines This
will not take place for centuries 20 we
can leave posterity to take care Of itself
